Chapter 36: The Man Who Laughs

The Jiangdu Rebellion in June has not yet swept to Yangzhou, Yangzhou is still full of lights, singing every night, a scene of peace and prosperity, but people who live in Yangzhou rarely remember that they have been on the cusp of the troubled times. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now the most proud person in Yangzhou is undoubtedly Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong couldn't be unhappy, not long ago, he got in touch with Gui Xiliang, the incense master of the Bamboo Flower Gang, and used Gui Xiliang as a bargaining chip to assist Gui Xiliang to sit on the leader of the Bamboo Flower Gang, hoping that the Bamboo Flower Gang could become a help for Li Valve in the troubled times.

Gui Xiliang was originally hesitant, although he knew the name of Li Valve, but he was still very unfamiliar with Li Valve, but with the death of the previous gang leader Yin Kaishan, the power in the gang is basically in the hands of the military advisor Shao Lingzhou, and now Shao Lingzhou is most coveted by their group of gang leader Yin Kaishan's disciples before his death.

Therefore, if he can't get help, then his life will be in danger sooner or later, so it is very difficult for him to become the leader of the Bamboo Flower Gang even if he doesn't want to, unless he is not afraid of death.

Because of this, he had to seriously think about Kou Zhong's proposal, not to mention that Kou Zhong was not just a lobbyist for him, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were both his friends, and they were friends who grew up with his bare butts when he was a teenager, so he immediately agreed to Kou Zhong's proposal after thinking about it.

Although the power of the Bamboo Flower Gang is still in the hands of Shao Lingzhou, there is only a little difference, under the secret participation of the Li Valve forces and the secret operation of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, now Gui Xiliang has controlled part of the power of the gang.

And now the matter of electing the next gang leader is already the most vocal thing in the four halls of "wind, sunshine, rain, and dew", and Gui Xiliang is the one with the highest voice in the selection of these successor gang masters, and the situation about the Bamboo Flower Gang is very good, what reason does he have to be unhappy now?

Kou Zhong really couldn't think of anything he shouldn't be happy about, so he drank a few glasses of wine every day these days. In addition to this, there was another thing that made him extremely happy.

-- Under his several persuasions, Chen Laomou, the military advisor of the Giant Kun Gang, seemed to have the intention of leaving the Giant Kun Gang, promised him and helped Li Valve.

Chen Laomou naturally can't be regarded as a celebrity, but this person is indeed a very important person, and in Kou Zhong's eyes, this person is even more important than Gui Xiliang in some aspects.

Chen Laomou is a veteran of the two dynasties of the Giant Kun Gang, and he can be regarded as well aware of the intelligence and information network of the Giant Kun Gang, and he can be said to be able to collect, sort, arrange, and classify the information on inquiring about the news.

Therefore, in his opinion, Chen Laomou is even more useful than Gui Xiliang.

Thinking of Chen Laomou, he didn't think of a beautiful woman in his mind, a beautiful woman he had been thinking about for a long time, and when he thought of this beauty, the figure of a young man did not appear in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but evoke a faint smile, and muttered: "The news has been passed to Brother Shimin, I don't know how he will give me this gift back?" Thinking of this, the brilliance on his face became brighter.

However, there seems to be a problem about Chen Laomou that has not been solved.

Chen Laomou is a member of the Giant Kun Gang, although the current Chen Laomou has the intention of choosing another virtuous master, but he is still thinking about whether to leave the Giant Kun Gang, after all, the two generations of the Giant Kun Gang have been good to Chen Laomou over the years, and Chen Laomou is not a wolf-hearted person, especially the new gang leader of the Giant Kun Gang, Yun Yuzhen, is very dependent on Chen Laomou, and it can be said that Chen Laomou is the well-deserved second person of the Giant Kun Gang.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning, and sighed softly: "The beauty gang leader has no intention of defecting to any force, hey, I hope Chen Laomou can make a wise choice, I can also give Li Valve a satisfactory answer, everything depends on Ziling." ”

- Chen Laomou hesitated, and Kou Zhong's patience was almost worn out by this old man, if he didn't know that this old man had the ambition to plan the world, he would even think that this old man was just fooling him.

Now Kou Zhong can't waste any more time on this old man, so he asked his good brother Xu Ziling to see this old man, hoping that this old man can give an answer today, if he still hesitates, Kou Zhong will definitely not look for Chen Laomou for the time being.

He held the wine glass in his hand, and his eyes flashed as sharp as a sword.

His eyes were looking out the window, to be precise, on the river.

There were boats on the river, boats coming and going, but Kou Zhong only had one boat in mind at this moment, a ship with very inconspicuous markings.

There were at least two people on the boat, one was Xu Ziling, and the other was Chen Laomou, as for whether there were other people, he didn't mind, he only cared about what Chen Laomou's answer to Xu Ziling was.

There were people on the boat, and there were only two people besides the boatman, one was Xu Ziling and the other was Chen Laomou.

Chen Laomou is still dressed as a scholar in a green shirt, but there is a wooden box in the north behind him, and he looks like he is going to travel far away, but in fact?

He has been in Yangzhou for nearly twenty years, but now he really has the intention of leaving, he is not willing to stay in Yangzhou anymore, nor is he willing to stay in the Giant Kun Gang anymore, now he wants to meet someone with Xu Ziling, to meet a person he has always wanted to see, but has never had the opportunity to see him.

He didn't agree to help Li Valve now, he just wanted to see if Li Valve was worthy of his Chen Laomou's help.

The conversation between Xu Ziling and Chen Laomou was not as good as Kou Zhong expected, it was very simple and easy, the two only said a few words, Chen Laomou had already decided to leave Yangzhou with them to see Li Shimin, although Chen Laomou said that he did not decide to help Li Valve, but Xu Ziling believed that it was a matter of time.

Now he was only worried about one thing, he just hoped that his good brother Kou Zhong would not be hurt by love. Thinking of which glamorous woman Li Xiuning thought of, he sighed helplessly, this woman is Kou Zhong's curse, a curse that can't be overcome.

The breeze also interrupted Xu Ziling's contemplation, Xu Ziling looked at Chen Laomou, who was also standing at the bow of the boat with a fisherman's hat, glanced at the vast river, and asked curiously, "What is Mr. looking at?"

Chen Laomou's face didn't see any change, he stretched out his fingers, pointed ahead and said, "A ship." ”

"A boat?" Xu Ziling was a little puzzled, there was a boat in front of him, a very old but definitely sturdy ship, this ship was not big, nor luxurious, it looked ordinary, it was simply no different from other ships on the river, Xu Ziling originally thought that there was no difference between that ship and an ordinary ship, but he still saw a little difference after all.

This ship has the mark of the Giant Kun Gang, so this ship is the ship of the Great Kun Gang.

Xu Ziling is not afraid of the people of the Giant Kun Gang, but he is still a little embarrassed, after all, what they have to do now is to kidnap the Giant Kun Gang military master? He is an honest gentleman, so he is still a little embarrassed about this kind of thing that he repels in his heart but has to do, so he can't help but bow his head.

However, he found that Chen Laomou's face had not changed in the slightest, so he asked with some curiosity: "Sir, do you know who the person from the ship is?"

Chen Laomou said in a calm tone: "I know, the person who came here is Yun Yuzhen, the leader of the Giant Kun Gang. ”

Xu Ziling stumbled a few times, almost fell to the ground, and looked at Chen Laomou blankly, a little incredible, he seemed to be incredible, Chen Laomou's calmness, it seemed that it was inconceivable that Yun Yu would really appear here, or both.

Chen Laomou's tone still did not fluctuate at all, and he said: "No matter who does something, there is a price to pay, since I want to choose to leave the Giant Kun Gang, I naturally can't tell Yun Yu really, but I didn't expect her to see the letter I left so quickly." ”

Hearing this, Xu Ziling could only be speechless, she could now feel the anger in Yun Yu's heart, this time it was naturally not good, he looked at Chen Laomou and said, "Sir's opinion, what should we do?"

Chen Laomou said one word: "Wait." ”

When the word fell, the very old-looking ship flew near, and when it was only seven or eight feet away from them, the ship quickly stopped castration, and at this time two people jumped out of the boat.

A woman in a green samurai uniform and a man in his early fifties, the two of them crossed directly to the deck to face Chen Laomou.

The woman in a green samurai uniform had a very bright and sunny smile on her face, but at this moment Xu Ziling was terribly scared, he had suffered from this woman, and knew that this woman was a femme fatale, so he naturally subconsciously retreated, but he immediately thought that there was no way to retreat from this ship, so he could only stop his steps and look at this woman with a smile.

His mind was spinning fast now, and he was a little annoyed why he didn't have a flexible brain like Kou Zhong, looking for a way out.

He couldn't think of any way, so he could only stand on the deck and look at the woman at the big man with an angry face.

The woman had a smile on her face, the big man's face was angry, and she was holding an iron rod in one hand, and the green tendons on her hand were exposed, looking as if she was about to move at any moment.

However, at this moment, Chen Laomou seems to have become a wooden man, and he doesn't have the slightest movement in his body, just standing in place.

After a while, Chen Laomou slowly spoke: "Helper, deputy helper, you came earlier than I expected." ”

The woman had a smile on her face all the time, and at this moment he still had a smile on her face, and she looked as if she was a natural laugher.

She looked at Chen Laomou and said softly: "Mr. Chen is traveling far away, how dare Yun Zhen not send him off, but Yuzhen doesn't understand a little: why did Mr. Chen suddenly decide to leave the Giant Kun Gang and travel far away?"

Chen Laomou raised his hand, palms facing up, and said, "The helper should know that Chen Laomou is a scholar after all, although he has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, he has never forgotten that he is a scholar. ”

The woman said: "Therefore, Mr. Chen decided to realize his ambition of helping the world when he is a scholar, and being poor and being alone." ”

Chen Laomou said: "Yes, where is the news from Jiangdu, Yang Guang is dead, the Great Sui is already dead in name, and now the world is about to be turbulent, and the troubled times will rise, please forgive Chen Laomou for not being able to serve the gang leader anymore." He arched his hand as he spoke.

The woman still had a bright smile on her face, but at this moment, in Xu Ziling's opinion, this woman looked even more terrifying...... (To be continued.) )
